The beach

July 17 my family and our friends went to a beach in Delaware.  It was a three hour drive, so we played         our DS on the way to the beach. when we got there, we built sand castles, went swimming and caught jelly fish. I was sunburned really bad.  after that we took showers and got ice cream.

Week away-

We are all back from being gone for a week:

Noah went to Boy Scout camp up in Pipersville, PA.  He received 5 merit badges:
Wilderness Survival, textiles, First Aid, Archery and Rifle.

Christal, Andrew and David joined up with daddy in O'Fallon, IL.  Doug had his LAST 2 week tour for the Air Force.  We traveled to the City Museum on Wednesday, with my very good friend, Rhonda, my neighbor from O'Fallon. 

We also were able to go the Cardinal baseball game in STL!  We were on the very top tier (the nose bleed section), but we still could see and hear everything well.

Julia attended the Boston E-team with our church to serve at VBS with our sister church outside of Boston.  Julia will share more about her trip later.

Baseball tournament

On this one I hit a single by running it out. We mercy ruled the team 20to4. My highlight was hitting a double that got 3 rbis in!! 

I was running as hard as I could and ran the ball out.

We could steal home in the tournament. I stole home after my hit. We got a lot of points by stealing home. 

Every time my team meets and say how well we played and could have played (if we lost).

Our team played hard and battled 5 games in one day!!! We went to the championship and lost . We mercy ruled the team the first game.but they won the other game so they won the championship. We played 9 games in 3 days!! The team that won the championship only played 4 games.         

I got a black eye from baseball!! I hit a single up the middle and stole second and third. The catcher missed the ball so I ran home but the catcher got the ball and ran toward me so I ran back and head first slid to third and I hit the kids knee !!       David,
